What Charlie Woods said after claiming his first AJGA win at the TaylorMade Invitational

Tiger Woods’ son, Charlie Woods, won the 2025 Team TaylorMade Invitational. Following his sensational performance, he acknowledged that being able to perform well in the tournament bodes well for him.

Charlie, who is still in the early years of his career, has competed in five PNC Championship tournaments with his father. Together, the iconic father-son duo has yet to claim a title in the tournament, but they were runners-up twice - in 2021 and 2024.

This year, the 82-time PGA Tour winner's son teed off in his first American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) tournament at Streamsong Resort. Charlie Woods dominated with a 15-under, three strokes ahead of the runner-up. Following his victory, he said (via AJGA Golf):

“Being able to say to myself that I won an absolutely amazing event and to say I performed under some high-pressure situations is just huge going forward.”

The 16-year-old added that he hasn’t been able to perform up to his expectations in the past. However, now that he has secured this victory, he acknowledged that it’s a “big thing for his mental game” going forward.

He shot a final round 6-under 66 and won the tournament with 15-under 201. He was three strokes ahead of Luke Colton, Philip Dunham, and Willie Gordon, who all tied for T2.
